Garlic Herb Parker House Rolls are soft, buttery dinner rolls with a golden top and plenty of delicious garlic and herb flavor. These homemade rolls have a tender, fluffy center and a light, slightly crisp edge that makes them perfect for pulling apart while they’re still warm. Brushed with melted butter, garlic, and herbs before serving, they have a wonderful aroma and a savory flavor that goes beautifully with almost any meal.
These rolls are a great choice for family dinners, holiday gatherings, or special occasions when you want something homemade on the table. They may look impressive, but the dough is simple to prepare and the rolls can be made with everyday ingredients. Serve them alongside roasted chicken, soups, pasta, turkey, or a hearty dinner, and watch them disappear while they’re still warm.

How to Make Garlic Herb Parker House Rolls
Step 1: Dough Making the Dough
Make the dough by mixing warm milk, sugar, and yeast and letting it sit until foamy, then add flour, salt, egg, and butter and knead everything until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and elastic.
Step 2: First Rise Proofing the Dough
Place the dough in a covered bowl and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size and becomes light and puffy.

Punch down the dough to remove air, divide it into small pieces, shape each piece, and fold them into the classic Parker House roll shape, then place them on a baking tray.
Step 4: Second Rise Before Baking
Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they look fluffy and slightly bigger.
Step 5: Baking Cooking the Rolls
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 15–18 minutes until they turn golden brown and soft.
